📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR updates the GuardScan CLI package, adds shared scan and vulnerability infrastructure, hardens local state and subprocess execution, rewires provider and cache handling, and expands command coverage for scanning, telemetry, packaging, and release validation.

Changes

GuardScan CLI platform update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release tooling and package contracts
.gitignore, cli/.nvmrc, cli/package.json, cli/schemas/*, cli/scripts/*
The CLI now targets Node 22, updates package metadata and dependencies, adds packaged JSON schemas, and adds release, lint-ratchet, and smoke-test scripts for packaged artifacts and package managers.
Local state, config, telemetry, and policy
cli/src/commands/config.ts, cli/src/commands/init.ts, cli/src/commands/status.ts, cli/src/commands/telemetry.ts, cli/src/commands/metrics.ts, cli/src/core/config.ts, cli/src/core/telemetry.ts, cli/src/core/metrics-collector.ts, cli/src/utils/api-client.ts, cli/src/utils/private-state.ts, cli/src/utils/execution-policy.ts, cli/src/utils/path-helper.ts, cli/src/utils/version.ts
Config loading and saving now use bounded private state helpers, leases, strict validation, and explicit offline and vulnerability settings. Telemetry now uses a filesystem spool with sync, clear, and status support. Related commands and update checks use the new policy and state behavior.
Provider creation, embedding, and cache behavior
cli/src/core/ai-cache.ts, cli/src/providers/*, cli/src/core/embedding-*, cli/src/commands/chat.ts, cli/src/commands/{docs,explain,migrate,refactor,review,test-gen,threat-model,commit}.ts
Provider creation now validates credentials, endpoints, offline policy, and remote self-hosted approval in one path. AI cache behavior now supports enablement and TTL controls. AI-facing commands now use shared provider checks and configurable cache sizing.
Inventory, advisory, and vulnerability data pipeline
cli/src/core/{bounded-response,cisa-kev,osv-client,package-inventory,vulnerability-cache,dependency-scanner,license-scanner}.ts
The core now collects package inventories, queries OSV, caches repository vulnerability snapshots, enriches results with CISA KEV data, and generates typed SPDX and CycloneDX SBOM documents through the updated license scanner.
Scan engine and scan-facing commands
cli/src/core/scan-engine.ts, cli/src/commands/{run,scan,security,sbom,vuln,cache}.ts, cli/src/index.ts, cli/src/utils/reporter.ts
A shared scan engine now runs scanners, normalizes findings, evaluates policy, and serializes JSON or SARIF output. The run, scan, security, sbom, cache, and new vuln commands now use the new execution model, output metadata, and exit-code handling.
Process execution hardening and tool runners
cli/src/utils/process-runner.ts, cli/src/core/{linter-integration,test-runner,mutation-tester,performance-tester,repository,rule-engine,secrets-detector}.ts, cli/src/features/{code-review,commit-generator}.ts, cli/src/parsers/python-parser.ts, cli/src/commands/{mutation,perf,test}.ts
Shell-string subprocess calls were replaced with argument-based execution or the new isolated process runner. Tool runners now support bounded execution, temporary directory cleanup, network isolation controls, and stricter failure handling.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d1d26

This PR changes provider routing, offline/privacy enforcement, command execution, scanning, SBOM generation, and packaging, but the current head still permits unsafe or incorrect behavior such as endpoint misrouting, isolation bypasses, predictable temporary-file writes, artifact selection outside the package directory, indefinite tool hangs, and lost or malformed scan results. These issues should be fixed before merging.

Rabbit boots the CLI at dawn,
Packs a tarball, then hops along.
Caches trim and scanners hum,
Telemetry drums a careful drum.
With schemas neat in moonlit view,
This burrow ships a sturdier build too.

P2 Badge Include the ratchet helper before exposing the lint scripts

Both npm run lint:ratchet and lint:ratchet:update terminate immediately because this new script requires ./eslint-ratchet-lib, but no such module exists anywhere in the commit. This prevents the advertised lint baseline workflow from running at all; add the helper (and whitelist it from the new cli/scripts/* ignore rule) or remove the dependency.

P2 Badge Stop requiring schemas absent from the package

The package smoke test unconditionally requires guardscan.release-manifest.v1.schema.json (followed by two other release schemas), but none of these files exists under cli/schemas in this commit. Consequently npm run test:package always fails its file assertions after packing and installing the tarball, even when the package itself builds successfully.

P2 Badge Remove release commands until their implementation is present

Every newly advertised release:* script invokes scripts/release/index.js, but that path is absent from the commit, so commands such as npm run release:status fail immediately with MODULE_NOT_FOUND. The adjacent test:release entry likewise names test files that are not present; either include the release subsystem in this change or defer these package scripts.

P2 Badge Reuse fresh OSV snapshots unless refresh is requested

For every online vulnerability scan with dependencies, this branch queries OSV unconditionally; it never checks the matching snapshot when caching is enabled, and options.refresh has no effect on OSV coverage. Thus repeated normal scans behave exactly like --refresh, incur all network/detail requests again, and fail during an OSV outage even when a fresh complete snapshot exists, contrary to the --refresh and --no-cache command semantics.

P2 Badge Treat expired KEV data as partial coverage

In offline mode, an expired CISA KEV cache is returned as stale-cache and used exactly like a fresh catalog. Since the caller only treats unavailable as an error, a scan with a stale catalog is reported complete and vulnerabilities absent from that old catalog receive knownExploited: false, despite exceeding the configured maximum cache age; stale enrichment should instead be marked incomplete or unknown.

P1 Badge Mark unresolved Maven dependencies as incomplete

Maven dependencies commonly inherit their version from dependencyManagement or use a property such as ${spring.version}. This condition silently drops every such dependency without adding an inventory error, so strictInventory cannot detect the gap and vulnerability/SBOM output can claim complete coverage while omitting real runtime dependencies. Resolve these versions or emit UNRESOLVED_VERSION instead of continuing silently.

P1 Badge Honor the accepted GUARDSCAN_OFFLINE=1 value in telemetry

The execution policy explicitly recognizes trimmed, case-insensitive GUARDSCAN_OFFLINE=1, but telemetry suppression checks only the exact string "true" here and in assertSyncAllowed. With an online config and telemetry consent enabled, setting GUARDSCAN_OFFLINE=1 therefore blocks normal network-backed commands while still recording events and permitting guardscan telemetry sync, violating the effective offline policy.

P2 Badge Reject unusable remote endpoints during local initialization

If a user enters a LAN or other non-loopback Ollama/LM Studio endpoint in this initialization prompt, the flow saves it, prints only a trust warning, and then forces offline mode. ProviderFactory rejects every non-loopback local-provider endpoint while offline (and this flow never sets allowRemoteSelfHosted), so the resulting configuration cannot run any AI command. Constrain this prompt to loopback endpoints or collect the same offline and remote-approval settings as the interactive config flow.

P2 Badge Record static commands as static telemetry

Any legacy model string not explicitly equal to sast, static-analysis, ollama, or lmstudio is classified as cloud AI. Current callers record comprehensive-scan, quality-tools, and local static scanners + quality analysis, so telemetry-enabled static scans, test runs, and fallback reviews are all persisted and later sent as cloud-ai, corrupting the allowlisted execution-mode metric. These callers should pass executionMode explicitly or the mapping must recognize their static values.

P2 Badge Preserve dependency scope in CycloneDX components

Every CycloneDX component is emitted with scope: 'required', even though the new inventory distinguishes development and optional coordinates. For projects with dev dependencies, the SBOM therefore tells downstream deployment and vulnerability tooling that test/build-only packages are required runtime components. Carry the inventory scope into LicenseFinding and map development-only entries to a non-required CycloneDX scope.

86-96: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Unconfigured OpenRouter and LM Studio sessions fall back to the OpenAI model id.

cli/src/providers/factory.ts Lines 282-299 build the OpenRouter profile with defaultModel: model. If the user did not configure a model, profile.defaultModel is undefined, so Line 86 keeps the field initializer 'gpt-4o'. Every chat request then sends model: 'gpt-4o' to OpenRouter, which expects namespaced model ids such as openai/gpt-4o. The request fails with an unknown-model error instead of a clear configuration message.

Require an explicit model when the profile has no default.

🛠️ Proposed fix
-    this.defaultModel = this.profile.defaultModel || this.defaultModel;
+    const resolvedDefaultModel = this.profile.defaultModel || model;
+    if (!resolvedDefaultModel && this.profile.providerName !== 'OpenAI') {
+      throw new Error(
+        `${this.profile.providerName} requires an explicit model. Set it with "guardscan config".`
+      );
+    }

Local setup can save an endpoint that every later command rejects.

Line 318 always sets config.offlineMode = true. Line 321 calls ProviderFactory.getEndpointTrustWarning, which internally normalizes with offline = false and allowRemoteSelfHosted = true. A non-loopback endpoint therefore only prints a warning here and is saved.

Later, ProviderFactory.createForCli normalizes the same endpoint with offline = true (cli/src/providers/factory.ts Lines 399-420). normalizeEndpoint then throws INVALID_ENDPOINT because offline mode permits loopback only (cli/src/providers/factory.ts Lines 164-172). Init never sets allowRemoteSelfHosted, so the endpoint would also fail with REMOTE_SELF_HOSTED_NOT_APPROVED when offline mode is off.

Result: the user accepts a warning that implies the endpoint works, and every AI command then fails with a configuration error.

Either reject the non-loopback endpoint during the prompt, or ask for explicit approval and persist allowRemoteSelfHosted: true with offlineMode = false.

Tool runners now throw, but the orchestrators have no partial-result guard. This layer changed the per-tool runners in both files from returning null on an unparseable report to throwing an error. Neither orchestrating method catches those errors, so a single failing tool aborts the whole run and discards reports that were already collected. Both files receive an EffectiveExecutionPolicy that carries allowPartial, and neither uses it.

  • cli/src/core/linter-integration.ts#L29-L70: wrap each of the six linter calls in runAll in a helper that catches the error and rethrows only when policy.allowPartial is false. A missing ESLint configuration file is a common trigger that currently discards the Python, Go, Ruby, and PHP reports.

Remove the shared temporary path fallback in generateK6Script.

When outputDir is undefined, the script path resolves to a fixed, world-predictable location inside the system temporary directory, for example /tmp/k6-test.js. On a shared host, another user can pre-create that path as a symlink. The write then follows the symlink, and k6 executes content from a path that another user controls. This is the same predictable-path hazard the temporary-directory change removes at the call sites.

Both call sites, Line 139 and Line 178, already pass a unique directory created with fs.mkdtempSync. Make the parameter required so the unsafe default cannot be reintroduced.

Report a nonzero status when a signal kills the child.

spawnSync sets status to null and signal to the terminating signal when a signal kills the child. For a kill that is not a timeout, for example an OOM SIGKILL or an external SIGTERM, result.error is undefined. The expression on Line 140 then falls through to 0, so ProcessResult.status reports success for a process that never completed.

Consumers act on that value. cli/src/core/license-scanner.ts at line 836 checks result.status !== 0 and would accept the truncated stdout of a killed process as valid license metadata. parseGoCoverage at Line 414 in cli/src/core/test-runner.ts would parse partial coverage output. The version probes in cli/src/core/linter-integration.ts would treat a killed probe as a successful one.

Treat a signal termination as a failure status.

Add timeoutMs to the linter executions that omit it.

runProcess maps timeoutMs to spawnSync timeout. When timeoutMs is undefined, spawnSync runs without a timeout. Flake8, Pylint, Rubocop, and PHP CodeSniffer are invoked here without timeoutMs, so a hung linter blocks the CLI indefinitely on a synchronous call. runESLint sets a five-minute timeout, and cli/src/core/test-runner.ts sets ten-minute timeouts, so the bound is inconsistent within this layer.

Set a timeout on the version probes and on the main executions.

Match the environment blocklist case-insensitively.

RUNTIME_INJECTION_ENVIRONMENT.has(name) and the prefix regex on Line 51 are case-sensitive, but SENSITIVE_ENVIRONMENT uses the i flag. Windows treats environment variable names case-insensitively and Node preserves the original casing in process.env. A variable named node_options or Bash_Env therefore passes isBlockedEnvironmentName and reaches the child process, where the runtime still honors it. That defeats the stated purpose of the runtime-injection blocklist.

Restore a recovery path for empty or legacy config files.

readConfigFile now fails hard on any content that parseConfig rejects. parseConfig rejects unknown top-level keys and rejects sections whose type changed. The previous load() re-initialized the configuration when the file was empty or unparsable. That branch is gone, so a single stale or truncated ~/.guardscan/config.yml makes every command exit with Failed to load configuration: ... and no stated remedy.

Two concrete triggers:

  • An empty or partially written config.yml makes yaml.load return undefined, and parseConfig throws configuration must be an object.
  • A config written by an older CLI that stored cache as a number throws configuration.cache must be an object. cli/src/commands/review.ts still contains config.cache || 100, which suggests such values existed.

Quarantine the unusable file and re-initialize, or include the remedy in the error text.

Re-normalization in the constructor discards the approved remote policy.

ProviderFactory.normalizeEndpoint('lmstudio', endpoint) is called without the offline and allowRemoteSelfHosted arguments, so both default to false. cli/src/providers/embedding-factory.ts Line 184 already normalized the same endpoint with allowRemoteSelfHosted taken from the configuration.

For a user with allowRemoteSelfHosted: true and a non-loopback LM Studio endpoint, the factory approves the endpoint and this constructor then throws REMOTE_SELF_HOSTED_NOT_APPROVED. The approved configuration cannot be used. The same pattern appears in OllamaEmbeddingProvider.

The chat endpoint is forwarded to local embedding transports.

createForCli passes config.apiEndpoint whenever the embedding provider equals config.provider. create then hands that same value to normalizeEndpoint for a local transport in three places:

  • Line 82: the configured ollama/lmstudio fallback, reached even when config.provider is openai or claude.
  • Line 162: the Claude case, which normalizes the value as an ollama endpoint.
  • Line 215: the none/default case.

Concrete trigger: a user sets provider: claude and apiEndpoint: https://anthropic.example.com. createForCli forwards that URL, and normalizeEndpoint('ollama', ...) sees a non-loopback host. With allowRemoteSelfHosted: false the call throws REMOTE_SELF_HOSTED_NOT_APPROVED and chat stops. With allowRemoteSelfHosted: true embedding requests are sent to the Anthropic host instead of Ollama.

Forward apiEndpoint only when the embedding transport is the same provider as the configured endpoint. Let the local transports fall back to their defaults otherwise.

🛠️ Proposed direction
+    const endpointAppliesToTransport =
+      options.endpoint !== undefined ||
+      (usesConfiguredProvider && (provider === 'ollama' || provider === 'lmstudio'));

The pattern /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$/ accepts . and ... Both pass the guard and then resolve outside the intended cache subdirectory in path.join(getGuardScanCacheDir(), repoId). Add an explicit rejection so the guard covers the traversal case it is meant to block.

Do not touch lastUsed in a read-only status command.

configManager.loadOrInit() defaults to { touchLastUsed: true } and writes the config file. The other read-only paths in this PR pass { touchLastUsed: false }, for example showConfig() in cli/src/commands/config.ts at Line 83 and checkForUpdates() in cli/src/utils/version.ts. Use the same option here so telemetry status does not mutate durable state.

Size the read buffer from the file size, not from the limit.

readTextFileBounded allocates maxBytes + 1 bytes on every call. The size check above already guarantees stat.size <= maxBytes. Callers that pass large limits (up to MAX_BOUNDED_READ_BYTES, 16 MiB) therefore allocate 16 MiB to read a few kilobytes. Allocate from stat.size and keep one extra byte as the overflow guard.

♻️ Proposed change
-    const buffer = Buffer.allocUnsafe(maxBytes + 1);
+    const buffer = Buffer.allocUnsafe(Math.min(stat.size, maxBytes) + 1);

Read-only traversal creates and chmods the directory.

forEachDirectoryEntry calls ensurePrivateDirectory, which runs mkdirSync and chmod. removeStaleTemporaryFiles therefore creates a directory that a caller only wanted to inspect. Add a read-only guard, or document that traversal is a write operation.

parseConfig silently drops clientId on the load path.

Config declares clientId as accepted on load, and TOP_LEVEL_KEYS allows it. parseConfig never copies it to the returned object. persistConfig then deletes it again. The result is correct for the stated privacy goal, but the interface comment and the explicit delete persisted.clientId imply a field that parseConfig can never produce. Remove clientId from the Config interface and rely on rejectUnknownKeys allowing the legacy key, or copy it through and drop it only at persist time. One mechanism is enough.

Avoid scanning the events directory twice per construction.

pruneDiskEvents and loadFromDisk each call scanMetricFiles, so every MetricsCollector construction reads and parses each event file twice. The collector is constructed on the provider path in cli/src/providers/factory.ts (createEnhanced) and in cli/src/commands/metrics.ts, so this doubles startup disk I/O for up to MAX_SPANS files plus any unpruned surplus. pruneDiskEvents already produces the retained, sorted span set; return it and assign this.spans from it instead of rescanning.

parseSpan drops the error field.

AISpan declares error?: string at line 54, but parsed never copies it. Any recorded span loses its error message on persist, and it never reappears in getSpans or exportToJSON. If the omission is intentional for privacy, remove error from the AISpan interface so producers do not set a field that is silently discarded. If it is not intentional, validate and copy it like errorType.

Extract the duplicated CLI option helpers.

warnDeprecatedNoCloud, resolveOutputFormat, parseConcurrency, parseScope, parseMaxFindings, and applyExitCode are byte-identical to the versions in cli/src/commands/scan.ts (Lines 525-568). Two copies of the validation limits will drift. Move them into one shared module, for example cli/src/utils/, and import them in both commands.
